Assembly 4th Feb

Assembly observer tickets

Assembly brings students together to discuss issues at Durham, vote on the concerns you want the SU to address, and hold the Student Officer team accountable.

A cross-section of student representatives make up the Assembly members. These students attend every Assembly meeting, and are elected to represent your views and vote on motions on behalf of the students they represent.

To increase participation and access in Durham SU's democracy during the pandemic, we are also inviting any students who wish to observe Assembly on 4 February to register to attend the live Zoom meeting. As with all Assembly meetings, we will also record the event and circulate it afterwards.

We are initially releasing 50 observer places, in addition to this year’s 43 Assembly participants. This number reflects the capacity we would usually book for a physical room, based on past attendance. However, if more students wish to come, we have the ability to increase the number of observer places available.

As with most things this academic year, moving our democratic activity online presents a range of logistical challenges, and ensuring that our Assembly members can fully participate is paramount.

Some things to note:

  • Student observer places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.
  • Student observers must register for a ticket before 18:00 on Wednesday 3 February.
  • Student observers must arrive at 17:45. You will be admitted into the Zoom waiting room along with Assembly members. This is to give us time to check the register, before admitting students. With the additional observers, this will take much longer than usual and any late arrivals will delay the start of the meeting, so it’s really important that you arrive on time.
  • Only voting members of Assembly can vote. Student observers may raise points using the chat function, but will not be allowed to vote. You can find a list of voting members on the Assembly page here.
  • This is the first time we are running Assembly this way. Like many things during the pandemic, we’re having to adapt, so please bear with us if proceedings are less smooth than we would like. We also welcome any feedback!
